Until we write a book on how we wrote our books, you can go through the following and figure out a lot of the process. Yes, one of these days, we'll write a book on how to do this step by step at the lowest possible cost, but until then, you can grab some of the stuff we did so that you can do the same thing.

Here's the first free thing for you! For this great e-book resource, search the FREE Ebook Directory at:

Now, the free HTML editor we like to use is called HTML Kit. It has a bunch of tags, plug-in generators, and it even works with Open Office! (That's a free resource listed in the next category on this page) You can download the HTML editor at: HTML KIT

If you want to just make your pages into HTML code and take it from there, then here is another freebie-type HTML Editor for you! Although, we can't for the life of us figure out why they think this wonderful tool has anything to do with being afraid of spiders! Anyhow, you can hop on over there and download it, okay!

Now, although it's one real huge program, (especially if you're on dial-up), it's one of the best programs out there! There's a word processor, a spreadsheet, a database creator, html wysiwyg (which stands for "what you see is what you get") editor, and works like that big type name Word Processing program by that multi-billionaire. And, it will even save and read your documents in that popular format created by that multi-billionaire. The very big difference between the popular version and this one, is this one is FREE! It's called "Open Office!" and you can download it here:

We already put out our PDF versions of books, and we do it for FREE! (Although just to show our appreciation for how much we love this product, we will be buying the paid version very soon.) How, do we do that you might ask? Real simple. We went and picked up our copy of PDF995 and it also has a PDF995 editor that you can download for free, too. Now, there are some rules that go with its use, so pay attention. There is a pop-up whenever you use it to create a PDF,(although it doesn't pop up everytime someone reads your created PDF), unless you pay for the license to get rid of the pop-up. You can do that for $9.95 per download or $19.95 buys the whole thing, including the Security feature and the editor. (As a matter of fact, for $10 more, they have an entire library of useful tools.) Now, if you don't buy the license to get rid of the pop-up thingy, you can't use it for commercial products. Once you have it on your computer, all you have to do is print the document with the 995 printer and it makes a PDF quick, fast, and in a hurry. To edit it, you pop up your PDF995 Edit and you can add links, bookmarks, and a whole lot of other fancy additions. (Very soon, we will make the book available for you that shows you exactly "step by step" how to use this product, so keep an eye open!) Go and download it now! You can get it at:

Newest craze out there is blogging! Now, you might not know what blogging is, but what you do is put your personal thoughts out there on anything you're interested in. Oh yeah, the light goes on for some of you, don't it! You can use this is an advertising tool to get people to your website. So, here's a blogging tool that you can use for free, and all they do is put up advertising on your blog:

But, once you have your blog out there, you need some way to advertise it. One of the ways of doing that is to have your "blog" put on a list. And, the fine folks at Blogwise will put you on their list, if you meet there requirements, which isn't that hard to do:

When you're downloading all these freebies, you need yourself a zip tool. This one is our favorite. You can not only "zip" and "unzip," but you can create packages of the zips, and then even password protect them. When you get there, just click on their BigSpeed Zipper and "Get It"! It claims to be the Swiss Army Knife of Zippers and we aren't so sure it isn't. (Yes, this is listed on another webpage, but we still feel that a good truly FREE "zip" tool is too important, not to mention again.)

Now, when you get hold of a domain (no technically you don't need your own domain, but nobody, and we do mean NOBODY, will take you seriously until you do) and create a website, you need a tool that gets it to your host. And, the one we like is FTP Commando.

But, before we tell you where to get it, let us save you a bunch of trouble and tell you how to log in to these FTP sites.

So, when it comes time to make the ftp connection, you would type under Site Name: Flip My Grits. Under Host, IP, URL, you would type: ftp.flipmygrits.com (Unless you need to type the actual url address which will be something like: ftp:xx.xx.xxx.xx:xxxxx with the x's being real numbers, you understand.)

Under username, you would type: admin@flipmygrits.com (or whatever username the admin is using. It doesn't have to be "admin".)

Then, under password, you would type: flippingrits.

Now, the rest of the details like ports and retries should be standard. So, the port should read 21. The ftp should be set to automatically decide which transfers best, like the binary or ASCII mode. So, if your FTP's got an auto-type setting on it, set it to that and leave it alone!

Please realize there's a little more to FTP than what we have just taught, but that information will get you past the hardest part. (We hope to be able to make a book available to you that goes more in-depth.)

Now, that we have saved you a bunch of fretting, fuming,and fussing, let's get you pointed in the direction of one great freebie FTP program. It's called FTP Commando. They got a pro-version, too, for the more advanced, but we have to tell you, we do everything we need to do just with their freebie version. You should be able to upload your graphics and stuff up to yer CGI bin so you can get them over to your main website. But, this is not the time and the place to talk about that. Maybe when we write the e-book "How To Get Your E-books On Your Website." But, that's a stretch down the road, you know! You can grab that fabulous FTP program here:
